Collage is one of those mediums that has a special little place in our hearts. We love that a bunch of existing images can be cut up and glued together in a fasinating way. Catriona Jeffries presents a new show Geoffrey Farmer: The Surgeon and the Photographer. Inspired by Aby Warburg’s Memory Atlas, this ambitious project uses the conceptual framework of a calendar in which to arrange and display 365 paper and cloth figures. Using a collage technique, cutting photographs from books, Farmer, like Warburg, employs a display technique to engage the viewer in a fluid non-hierarchical, non-historical, cross-cultural consideration of images and ideas.
Farmer will also be presenting a new video work that has been developed to accompany this project.
Other Notables: Pamela Masik shows the Forgotten, Western Front presents Learning from Vancouver, and 221A Artist Run Centre holds a fundraiser for the Helen Pitt Gallery. Please see Artsy!Dartsy! for details on more opening receptions.
